Fill in the corners to make up the difference

Capacity now at 64,000 seems about right. We fill it up in good and bad seasons. Fill in the corners with no benches gets you to about the same capacity as now. Getting much bigger might not work out.

Are there any discussions around expanding LES to 70k?

I’d like to see the day we get 100K

The nickname could be close to Michigan's "Big House"

Best idea is to fill in the corners, get rid of all benches

RenoCoug

Getting rid of the benches will make the capacity smaller.

That's why you fill in the corners at the same time

Ah yes....the decades old discussion of filling in the corners.

By all means, let's upgrade by adding crappy seats.

How do we get bigger if we don't fill in the corner?

RenoCoug

4:42pm

Up.

On the east side? No way. Take away those views?

RenoCoug

What are you at the game for. Watching football or the Mountains?

WJCougar

You could go higher on the east stands and not obscure the views too much.

Too bad BYU chose to take away seats to put in those tables and seats that

Can't fill in the corners (at least not easily). The endzones do not match up with the East and West stands.

They don't have to line up to fill it in. Just have to wrap the endzones around until they meet up with the sidelines.

and have some seats with obstructed views? Brilliant. Nope, they just raise the cost of the current seats to meet demand

ManicBlue

Nope, like this.

Still not worth the cost and won't happen. Give it a rest.

I'd rather start from scratch than dump hundreds of millions into an aging LES.

SIU game was sold out. 63,712 announced attendance

I'd rather put a roof on the stadium.

And take away the best view in College Football?

Cool mountains!

WJCougar

At least shade for the endzones.

CorrectionsCoug

Yes, who doesn't envy what Syracuse and Idaho have in college football

It’s not time. Only after selling out games for several years will it maybe

Not worth the cost. They'll just raise prices. BYU already has the largest stadium in the B12.

ManicBlue

4:42pm

yeah if some wealthy person wants to fund that as a vanity project then cool,

Short answer, No. Longer answer, still no. BYU seems to have gotten it just right this year

They should start by simply filling in the corners in the lower bowl

CaliWG

Put stacked suites in the corners and above the west side. LES is a great size.

I say go big 100k and lower prices
